Eusebio Di Francesco: “The performance was very good and we took the initiative, but were naive at the start of the second half. We allowed Cagliari very little and had several chances to score more. There is too much pressure on DomenicoBerardi and he’s treated as a ‘bad boy,’ but needs to be protected.”

IvoPulga: “It was an important point against a direct rival for position. In the second half the team did everything to leave this difficult period behind it. I have to thank President MassimoCellino and it’s not true he is only thinking of Leeds at the moment.”
